PLOW-FENDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 571,223, datedNovember 10, 1896.

Application filed September 28,1895. Serial No. 563,988. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM G. W. FOSTER, of Sargent, in the county of Coweta and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plow-Fenders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of' this specification.

This invention pertains to plow-fenders, and the object of the same is to provide an adjustable fender of improved form, and, further, to provide an improved device for securing the same to the plow-beam.

With these objects in view the invention consists of the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, shown partly in section, of my improved fender in position upon a plow. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view.

A designates the beam, and B the fender proper, which is pivotally secured at O to the rear end of the forwardly-extending arm D.

. The inclination of the fender may be varied fender.

on the said arm through the medium of the adjusting-pin E and the series of openings F in the fender, as will be readily understood. Arm D is given a halfturn at D,so as to pre sent a flattened surface at its outer end to the under side of the beam, while its rear end has a fiat vertical surface for securing to the The fiat forward end of the arm is brought up against the under side of the beam and pivotally secured to the transverse plate G, which is secured in the desired adjustment by the yoke or clamp II passing around the beam with its ends projected through the venting the fender-carrying arm from turning laterally.

By means of a fender arranged as here shown and described the plants upon either side of the plow may be protected, the fender swinging laterally to one side or the other,as desired, and by means of the vertical adjustment described of the fender the same may be raised or lowered, as may be found neces sary. Y

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

1. The combination of an arm adapted to support a fender, a device to which the arm is pivotally secured for clamping the same to a plow-beam, and a stud projected from the arm toward the beam whereby when the arm is drawn to the beam the stud will engage the same and prevent pivotal movement of the arm, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of a fender, an arm extended forward therefrom and bearing flatly upon the under side of the beam, the plate to which the said arm is pivotally secured whereby the arm is adapted to turn laterally in the desired direction, a stud carried by the upper side of the said arm for engaging the beam, and a yoke or clamp for securing the plate to the beam, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination of a fender-carrying arm, a clamping-plate to which the arm between its ends is pivoted, a device for drawing and clamping the plate to the beam, and a stud projected laterally from the arm upon the opposite side of the pivot from the fender and adapted when the arm has been turned to the desired adjustment to enter the beam, by the clamping-plate being drawn to the beam, thus holding the arm at the desired adjustment or inclination, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

ABRAHAM G. IV. FOSTER.
